This McDonagh is the older brother of that other McDonagh you may have heard of. You know. The playwright.

Filmed in Sligo, CALVARY again stars Brendan Gleeson and looks like some very big (and funny) stuff indeed.

So far, no announced dates (it opens August 1 in the US) are anywhere near Portland, but presumably it will get here at some point.

In the meantime, if you’re in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Denver, Dallas, Boston, Philadelphia, Phoenix (WTF??), or San Francisco, you’re in luck.

If you think the west coast of Ireland is a quaint, adorable place with lovely views and jolly bearded sheep herders dancing jigs, this is the (reality check) film for you. Expect an excoriating, pitch black comedy about the shit show that is the Catholic church.
